WAKEFIELD Four iniide Post-Conches, every Niuming andAftertmoth work, entitled Memoirs of Hariettc Wilson. The defendant pleaded Not Guilty. Mr. BROUGHAM (with whom was Mr. RICHARDS) stated the case for the plaintiff: They had heard from his Learned Friend, the nature of this action, and it was not, 'therefore, necessary for him to repeat it. The Jury twere aware that by several Acts of this Parliament, and particularly by an Act passed in the .54th year of the reign of his late Majesty, this action was given to a party complaing of such an injury as the plaintiff' had sustained; all that would he necessary for a party in the plaintiff's case to do, was to show his right t? the work, either by the assignment of the author, or by his being himself the author,'or by having been the first publisher ; and by having done either of those acts he could sustain an action of piracy. With respect to the present case there could be no doubt that an act of piracy had been comolitted, an act of piracy as grosses could be imagined, for the very tide-page of the book professed that it was " a copy vet Latina from the original edition published at 7s. price 45." fie understood that the defendant, Onwhyn, did not deny that the work pub. lished by him was a copy of the original edition—that he did not deny that Stockdale was the first publisher ; and that, in short, lie did not deny the piracy • but he untivnitood the de fendant meant to say true it is I a have committed an offence —true- it- is that I have done one illegal act ; but true it is that I have committed another illegal act by publiabitig a work, some passages of which arc libellous, and other pas sages have an indecent tendency, for which I may be prose cuted, and my liability to such prosecution is a suffieient jus tification of my other illegal act." A more indecent de fence he had never heard. When the Jury saw before them a man who relied for his defence upon 'evidence fur nished by himself of his having committed an illegal act, he was quite satisfied they would agree with him, that he did not characterize such a defence by too immode rate an epithet when he used the word " indecent." He begged the Jury would not let his Learned Friend (Mr. Sear. lett) run away with their judgment by his appeals to the nature of passages in this book, and by his calling upon them to as. sist him in checking a publication of an immoral tendency.—A bare view of the title-page of this book would convince the Jury that a more preposterous appeal could not be made on behalf of the defendant, who, by reducing the price, took the most effectual means of propagating the sale, and diverting it into channels, from which the high price at which the book was ori. ginally published excluded it. Such an appeal might be more properly used by the plaintiff, and he only cautioned the Jury against it, because most likely it would be made. With re spect to the work itself, he would say, that it had been pub. Imbed upwards of a year, and no action of libel or indictment had been preferred against the plaintiff: Loan entEr JuSTICE.—We had one action in this Court. Mr. BROUG HAM—Not for any thing contained in this volume, my Lord. The presumption, he would say, from such a cir. cumstance was, that there was nothing libellous, that there was nothing licentious in the work. The Law fficers of the Crown, whose duty it was to protect public morals, had not thought fit to institute any proceedings against the publisher, and therefore he was justified in assuming that in their opinion the book was not immoral. That being the case, it would be too much that the defendant, who had taken the most effectual Means of extending the sale of the work, should be allowed to urge in his defence, in a Court of Justice, the immoral tendency of the. work.—(The Learned Counsel here allud ed to the decision of the Lord Chancellor, in cx parte Murray, but in so indistinct a manner that we could not catch what he said.)—lt would be extremely haul, that because a work contained one or two licentious passages, therefore there was no protection for the copy-right. If such a doctrine were acknowledged, he would venture t o say, that there were few books which might not be pirated, nay, if most of our standard work#of English authors were ransacked in that manner, they could not be published with safety. If such a doctrine were to be acknowledged, scarcely one of the Poets, or of the works of the Ancients, could be protected. if the doctrine were to be so laid down, and in. deed, as it had in one instance been almost so laid down, the consequence would be, that no printer, binder, or other person engaged,in the book trade, could maintain an ection for his goods or labour, provided it could be proved that there was a licentious passage in the work about which they had been em. ployed. Having said thus much, for the purpose of putting the Jury on their guard, it would be only necessary for him to preve the piracy, in order to entitle the plaintiff to a ver dict for such damages, as in the opinion of the Jury he had sustained. he must come into Court to claim for something which the law recognizes as property, but the law does not recognize the property of' any man in such a wor k as this. In the other works to which you bare alluded, there - may be ari objection able passage here and there, but that case is widely different from the present, for this work professes to he it hi s to r y of the amoursof a courtesan. I have no doubt that my opinion is right. Mr. Baouoitast —Will your Lordship save the point, and give us leave to move to set aside the nonsuit ? The Loan CHIEF JusTroti:—You have a r i g h t to move the Court to set aside the nousuit, but I never save the point,' except when I entertain a doubt; in this case I entertain bone. —Plaintiff non qui tecl.

Wiltshire and Massey, Man chostee WarehOtnlemen. in Cheal'%ide, have been missing cottons and prints, sometimes a dozen of pieces in a week ; Harrison, the Marehalman, watched the premises without effect fir some days, and several persona weredismiseed, but thole , ' teat of robbery continued in full activity until last weekoebto.o. rs. Johnston, of (+rent Sutton -street, called and info rme d M r . Wiltshire that she bad di scovere d her, lbdger, Maerfi, a fortune-teller, had been in the habit of receivin g goo d s stolen front their warehouse, by Afrs. Buchanan their cook and housekeeper; that Mrs. Morris told her she used to fetch the goods away wrapped round her body under her clothes ; tear the pieces into lengths for garments, pledge the lengths at different pawn-brokers, and burn the duplicates. Morris and Buchanan were in consequence apprehended, and in the apartments of the former, 66 duplicates were found, but none of them turned out to relate to the property stolen. Ow Monday morning, Mr. Wiltshire an d his Partner called on their housekeeper in the Compter, and enquired what had become of half a dozen of silver spoons, anti two table cloths. She replied, they should be restored to him, as also two sheets, which he had not missed. Here he wits called aside by the Governor of the Prison, who cautioned him against urging the prisoner to further confession. On that and the following evening, some man, unknown, brought the articles in a parcel' ree'ed to Mrs. Buchanan, which he left at the Confiner, without saying a word, and the property was subsequently placed in the hands of the Officer for Mr.. Wiltshire.— Mrs. Buchanan had stated to the turnkeys that she had lent these articles. Mrs. Johnson repeated her statement before the Alderman, and said Morris had an extraordinary influence over her own sex, and nothing could withstand her insinuating address. She had nearly stripped her of her property, and a though she earned by fortune. telling more money in a day than she bad to support herself and six children tor a week, Morris always appeared to be in distress; she used to receive money or goods indiscriminately in payment, and she once saw a young lady send her gold framed eyeglass of? her neck to the pawn broker's, to raise 10a. for the prisoner. Sometimes she dealt in charms, Qnc of which had the reputed virtue to enable the possessor to command the gratification of tiny wish whatever; it was composed of powdered coal, and the drug called dragon'a blood, well saturated with lavender water, and sewed up in flannel shaped like a heart.

Mr. SCAnLF.TT stated the case to the Jury; and from the evidence which he called in support of his statement, it ap. peared that the plaintiff; who is a poor Irish shoemaker, resided, m April, 1824, in a room of a house in Denmark.court, Strand, belonging to a person of the name of Freeman. At that time he owed his landlord 8/. for rent, which he wax unable to pay in consequence of a severe illness which he bad suffered. The laadlort(49secure his rent, sent the defendant into the plaintiff's tenement with a distress warrant. The defendant seized all the property therein, which was estimated by one of the wit nesses as worth from 251. to 301. ; and after a lapse of five days removed it to his own auction rooms for the purposes of sale. After he had sold property which realized 111. odd, he stopped the sale, on the ground that he had received enough to cover the rent in arrear,, and the charges of executing the distress. On the plaintiff's going a few days afterwards to inquire about the proceeds of his property, the defendant informed him that the property had all been sold, and tendered him four shillings as the balance due to him. The plaintiff, believing this ac count to be true, signed a receipt for the four shillin, as the balance of such sale. He subsequently discovered a tender and fire-irons of his own in the defendant's shop, and upon claiming them as his property, was permitted to take them away. He then examined the inventory of his furniture, with an amount which his son had taken of the furniture sold, and so discovered that there were several articles unsold which the defendant had retained without any authority for so doing. Among these was a picture in needle-work, which the plaintiff's wife had re. ceived from a lady of rank, with whom she had lived as servant for many years, and on which she set particular value. So anxious was the plaintiff to recover this picture, that he was willing. according to Mr. Searlett, to abandon his. action, even at the present stage of it, if it were restored to him with his other goods. - COVENTRY "Tally Ho," light fast I)ay Coach, every morning at a (waiter he rore 7, through Itethurn, Dunstable, Stoney Stratford, To wcester, %Veedon, Daventry, and Don church, DOVER. and Pails Patent Safe Coach, every morning, through Canterbury and Chatham.

Tilliard, a gentleman residing in Guilford-- street, tier ranging to take a fare when required. The •.t:lefert dant, on his name being called, immediately pleaded guilty. Sir it. BIRNIE requested that Mr. T. would state the circum stances of the case, that he might know what course to adopt towards him. The complainant then made the following rather remarkable statement t--On the preceding evening he, in corn ' pany with three young ladies and his infant daughter, having been in the dress-boxes of Covent-garden Theatre, at the con clusion of the performance, entered the coach of the defendant. He was desired to drive to 6uilfortiottreet, the residence of 111 r. Tilliard. That gentleman, being engaged in conversa tion, did not observe the road the wadi was going for some time. %Viten he thought he had nearly arrived at his jour ney's end, he looked out of the window, and to his great astonishment perceived that he was in a stable yard. He called to the coachman, and was informed that the latter was at home, and therefore he should go no further, Mr. T. was peremptory. The coachman then said, " Oh, lam a mars of reason; it's contrary to Act of Parliament to go with a fare after twelve o'clock at night." He then opened the door, and obliged them to leave the coach. ,Mr. T. after walking .some time, at length found himself in Soho-square. Ile at length Procured a coach in Oxford-street, and set out again for his house. The coachman had proceeded some yards, when he was stopped suddenly by some person. Mr. T. looked out, and perceived it to be the former coachman who had followed him, and with boisterous voice and gestures, exclaimed, " I arrest that coach ; the gentleman in s id e has robbed me; he has not paid me my fare." After some use of the whip, and with the assistance of the watchman, he was removed, and the party allowed to proceed.—Sir It. Ninety. animadverted in very strong terms on, the gross misconduct of the delendant.—A. poor woman, who described herself as the wife of the latter, re quested that on her account, and that °fills family, his Worship would be lenient in his sentence.—Sir Iticriann, after con sulting some time, said that in consideration of what she had said and that the innocent might not suffer for the gu ilty, h e would remit half the fine he intended to make him pay, and directed that he should be fined 891. and the costa. rrHE INDIA TEA SALE being ' concluded, Families are respectfully Informed that a iiivfnl selection has been made of the strongest and finest flavoured Teas ' which they may now purchase at Wholesale prides, for Ready Money. per lb. per lb.

DR. FOTHEROILL'S TONIC FEMALE PILLS. TheCoasstox SERGEANT, on the part of.the defendant, contended, first, that all the goods taken under the distress. warrant had been sold; and secondly, that if any were unsold and not returned, it was because they were too insignificant to be noticed. He called several witnesses to prove that no such picture as the plaintiff's witnesses described was seized by the defendant; but their accounts were exceedingly contra, dictory. Mr. SCARLETT, in reply, contended that his case had been strengthened by the defence which had been set up against it, and maintained that one fact which had come out during the examination of the witnesses was calculated to taint the whole of it with fraud. It appeared that the Afendant had sold goods to an amount beyond that to which he was entitled by law to sell, and had been convicted before one of the Magistrates at flow street, on a charge of having exacted excessive fees for the distress from the plaintiff. The plaintiff was so anxious to get the picture in needlework hack again, that he trusted that the Jury, if his Lordship had no objection to it, would, in estimating their damages, say how much they gave for the picture specifically, and how much fur the other goods. They might in that case fix a fictitious value upon the picture, which would compel the defendant, if be had it, to return it to the plaintiff. The Loam CittryJusricE. in summing up the evidence, said, that he saw no objection to the jury stating in their ver. diet, if it should be for the plaintiff, what damages they gave for the detention of the picture, and what for the detention of the other goods. 1 1 1A11LBOROUGH*STREET. • PRENCIT AlArtrt I E S.—An elderly female, named Mary came before the Magistrate tbr the purpose of making an affidavit under the following circumstances t--flex daughter who raided in France, *as about to be married to a native of that country, but the Cure was prevented by the French law from solemnizing the marriage, until the consent of the parents of the female was obtained. She (applicant) bad given her consent to the union, and the feet had been stated that she had been separated from her husband ler many years, and knew not where to find him, or whether he was alive o r dead. This assertion was not deemed satisfactory, a nd th e marriage was postponed until she prepared an affidavit, wherein she. V 11144 required to swear to the truth of her husband having deserted her, and that she was unable to discover. his place of residence.—Mr. Dv Eit said, he was not aware that the laws Of. France reciaired such a document; hut he would sign the davit, in the hopes, that it would 'move any impediment to link young woman's marriage. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. damages 131.; stating that M. was for the picture, and (1/. for the other goods. Is there not something in it about a woman setting up a house, for the accommodation of women of the town ? Yes, I think there is, about a Mrs. Porter. Now turn to pave 121, Is there not in that p age a d esc rip t i on of Miss Ilurriettes meeting with a person there?—Yes. A long description of what took place remember the part which states that Mrs. Porter called on Miss Nilson.

From the evidence of the plaintiff `ti son, it appeared that the plaintiff, who is a farmer residing at Old Ford, occupied 60 acres of land in that neighbourhood. In that ground he h a d two fish-ponds, and kept some cattle, and two or three hundred hogs. The defendant Bird was the proprietor of it brick field next to the land of the plaintiff; and through that brick held ran the stream of water which supplied the plain. tiff's ponds. In the month of April, 1023, the witness found all the fish lying dead on the s-rface of the fish-ponds, and upon looking for the cause of it. discovered the stream, which flowed into it, to be discoloured up to a certain point in the defendant Bird's field, near which a quantity of dregs were deposited. A complaint was in coosequenre, made to Bird, who regretted what had occurred, and admitted that he had permitted Ilannam to leave gas dregs there. Shortly atlewards the water became so bad as to kill 40 of the plaintiff 's hogs, which were worth from 50s. to 60s. each, and to compel him to remove his cattle train that land Into some which had been laid down for meadow. The LORD CHIEF JUST] Cr., at this stage of t h e ex ,,,,l na . tion of the witness, suggested that the amount of damages had been better settled out of court. Mr. MARK AT, for the defendant, said that he was prepared to contend that the gas drege could not by any possibility have escaped into the stream, anti tfthcy had not escaped, they could not have occasioned the damage complained of. The LORD CftrEr iluaTter observed, that even that point could be better settled before an arbitrator than i n t h at court . After some conversation, it was agreed I) take a verdict for the plaintiff for the damages in the declaration, liable to a re ference. :MEMOIRS OF Whi.soN. STOCKDALE V. °NW/11(N.

Goring and Alexander Price, solicitors, of Orchard-street, Portman-square, was charged with having embezzled several sums of money. The prisoner was sent on the 21st August, with a check for 14/. 7s. 2d., to pay some costs to Air. Legate, the Solicitor to the Commissionersof Taxes. He, however, appropriated the money to his own use, and represented to his employers that some objection was made to the check, but if it vas accepted, a receipt would be sent. He was desired several times to call for the receipt, but he invariably stated that Mr. Legatt's clerk was not at home. On Tuesday last, the prisoner was directed to pay some fees anti fines which were due on an estate in Gloucestershire, that had been purchased by the prosecutors, for one of their clients ; but the prisorier. instead of paying those tees and fines, at the proper law offices, applied that money, also to hi s own use.—Mr. Goring also stated, that a bond had been missing from the office. — The prisoner, who appeared greatly agitated, said he atimh ted that he had received the money ter the check, and held not paid the fees at five 'office:l. lie entreated the Ma gistrate would at once commit him for trial, and let hitu know his doom as quickly as possible.
